i don't ever recall hearing a request for anything resembling this
description.

does the feature set that's been built fit with what our
treasurer-of-the-week needs it to do?

ok, that takes the direction of this away from what it seemed to be at
first.

no, but the results, ie the donation wall and the donation bar *are* part of
weo.

if we're going to have an effective donation drive, these things *must* be
in front of the user which means they *must* be on weo.  there's just no way
around that.
